Mysterious Glow in Milky Way Could Be Evidence of Dark Matter
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University may have found a clue to prove the existence of dark matter.
A diffuse glow of gamma rays near the Milky Way's center has puzzled researchers for decades. They have tried to determine whether the light comes from colliding dark matter particles or quickly spinning neutron stars.
According to new research published in the journal Physical Review Letters, both theories are equally likely.
If excess gamma light is not from dying stars, it could become the first proof that dark matter exists.
The research may tilt the scales for competing theories about excess gamma ray light at the galaxy's center.
